I just downloaded 0.26 and at random times when I play, I press the key bound to "messagemode" or "messagemode2" and it lags. It takes ~1 sec to show the prompt, and ~1sec for each character that i type to appear.

Also when I'm hopping around, mouse input is almost like it is non existent. I move it left and right, crosshair stays in the same place. It stays like this for ~5 seconds and happens at random intervals.

I had no problems with release 0.25, they just started happening now.

And no, it's not computer lag.

PC: 1ghz AMD-Thunderbird
OS: Windows XP Pro
Ram: 128mb SD
Video: GF2 TI 64mb
Mouse: Microsoft IntelliMouse Optical

Any ideas?

try shutting down all other programs besides fuhquake, and see if it still happens.

Consider an upgrade to your current video card. It could most likely be a video card issue.

I have exactly the same problem!

In my case, turning off vertical sync (in either windows/graphics card drivers) or in fuhquake (vid_vsync 0) solved these problems. However, the image is a bit flickery, but atleast the 1 sec keyboard lag and the odd mouse movement disappeared Smile

My MS Explorer 3.0 simply stopped tracking all the time. I want that damn silky smoothness with vsync enabled Smile

But rather some flickering than simulating pushlatency 1000 Wink

Win xp, amd xp 1700+, gf4 ti4400 (nvidia driver ver. 30.82), 512 mb ddr

This should be a bug report or smtn

I nailed it down to sys_highpriority.
Somehow making it high priority made it low priority quality =P

i have vsync on cus without it the looks like crap...i havent tried disabling it to see if it still lags..the problem is that when i play i get a steady 60 fps..i dont know why..all the people in the forums talk about 100 fps with less specs than my comp..wtf? but ok..60 is fine for me..with vsync and at 1024 x 768 with 32 bpp.

What happens is im playing and every 5 minutes i get a fps drop to 42 fps and then back up to 60. its not cpu lag its not video card lag and its not my hds...i dont knmow what it is..even with no other programs running..i have the default options for the priority..so..i dont get it..

also can someone give me some help to tweak my fuhquake to a higher fps?? the highest ive ever gotten is 72 with fuhquake..maybe 72.1 lol..ok..well..hope to hear from someone..if u want to help me on irc im on ETG in #3g my name is [3g]Spam thanx
